WASHINGTON Russia is using its long-range bomber fleet to send a message to the US, and the general charged with protecting the homeland says those flights will continue, or even expand, in the coming months.
Adm. Bill Gortney said the flights by long-range Russian bombers are messaging for the US, a reminder that there is another nation capable of power projection.
Asked about a report that Russian officials are planning to send bomber patrols through the Gulf of Mexico, Gortney said, it wouldnt surprise me if they do that.

Sorry. I'm still having testosterone overdose symptoms from listening to the chest pounding on the Sunday morning "news" shows.
